My point-of-view after 25 years in the classroom

Effective Immediately

No cell phones will be allowed in the building at Goochland Prep. From the beginning of the year, students were told to turn their phones in every day to Mr. Jones, who placed them in a box and returned them at 3 PM. In the last 6-7 weeks, only 3 students have done that consistently. The ban on phones will not be lifted but remain in effect the remainder of the year. Any student caught with a cell phone will be recommended for one day of out of school suspension.
